Anette Prehn, author of Play Your Brain : Adopt a Musical Mindset and Change your Life and Career, a book I often recommend, is offering a class through udemy on reframing. It begins on February 15, and I think it will be worth your time. A description of "The Neuroscience of Reframing & How to Do It" from the udemy Web site:
Reframing ought to be in the water we drink, scientists say. Reframing is the ability to change your perspective deliberately. But why is it praised like that? What happens in the brain when you reframe? What are the inner and outer effects? And how do you do it? You are invited to share your own, most powerful reframings with the group - and gain lots of inspiration through similar best-practice reframings from other participants.
This course is targeted for managers and executives which will show in the examples given and the questions asked. However, anyone is free to join so that as many as possible may harvest the benefits of reframing.
Since many conflict professionals use reframing, this class should be an excellent resource for them, too. In fact, I am not sure I can think of anyone who works with people who would not benefit from a reframing-skills tuneup and accelerator.

Past posts about Prehn:
As a retired psychotherapist who eventually replaced cognitive restructuring with cognitive defusion, I suggest that reframing is often not as valuable as learning how to defuse & step back from our usual frames or beliefs in order to recognize them as insubstantial mental constructs.
